Fishing Report

Lakes

New Melones

The trout bite has slowed down somewhat. We are still seeing nice fat rainbows, but limits are harder to come by. Fishing should pick up again in the next couple of weeks, as water temperature cools.

Streams are still open until Nov. 15. Trollers should target the main lake, as well as upriver. Shad-patterned lures seem to be the ticket.

Night fishing is another effective way for boaters to catch fish at this time of year. Successful anglers fish under a submersible light with a nightcrawler/Power Bait combo near the dam/spillway.

The bass is OK for smaller fish. With the water temperature changing, bass are moving from shallow water into deeper water. Areas that provide structure at different depths are a good bet. Main lake points, submerged islands, and creek arms are all good choices. Try drop-shotting shad or colored worms or grubs.

There are still a surprising number of nice cats. Tuttletown, Angels Cove, Glory Hole Point, or under the 49 Stevenot Bridge are all good spots to try for big cats. Use mackerel, anchovies or sardines.

Camanche

Earlier this week the lake received 3,600 pounds of rainbow trout. Limits of rainbows have been frequent at the trout pond, with anglers catching fish on Power Bait as well as nightcrawlers.

Trollers fishing in the main body of the lake are catching trout using Rapalas, Needlefish, and R-Lures.

The bass bite continues to be strong for anglers fishing early and late in the day. Lizards or worms were reported to be working when drop-shotted off rocky points and structure.

The catfish bite continues to be great. The day use point or east cove are also great places. Find colored water and toss mackerel, anchovies or liver.

Amador

The trout bite is hot. More than 35,000 pounds have been planted since Sept. 27.

Try close to the shore and near the top using Power Bait, worms and jigs.

Central Sierra

The mild weather has kept the fish biting in the high country. Natural baits, lures and flies are still working on the wild trout in the Stanislaus and Beaver Creek. Flycasters are having success with prince nymphs, zug bugs and woolies.

Delta

Isleton

Striped bass fishing turned out very good last week with a number of keepers caught all over the Delta channels from Bay Point up to Walnut Grove.

Sturgeon fishing has picked up. Try Sherman and Decker islands on salmon roe, ghost shrimp or grass shrimp. The catfish bite is still fair in Georgiana Slough and the Mokelumne River with some catfish caught on clam or chicken liver.
